Organic fair to boost output

To give a boost to organic agriculture in India, 'India Organic 2005' will be held between November 4 and November 7 in Bangalore.

The trade show will be held to give serious players in the business a chance to showcase the products and also increase its share among the farming community, said C T Chidambaram, chief operating officer, International Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture (ICCOA).
